New Delhi (NVI): The plains of northwest India are likely to experience dry weather conditions starting from today, the Indian Metrological Department (IMD) said.
According to IMD’s weather bulletin, “Dry weather will prevail over Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh & Delhi, West Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, from today, the 24th March onwards.”
While clear weather conditions are very likely over Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh from March 25, it added.
The Met department said these conditions will prevail under the influence of a western disturbance as a cyclonic circulation lies over Afghanistan and an induced cyclonic circulation lies over northwest Rajasthan & neighbourhood.
